And, as credible sources often are, they are right. We should, I should and everybody should. But we don't.

While I was at school I was a bit of a bookworm (to be fair my house was always filled with literature), I read recreationally constantly throughout my degree. It does improve your writing, it gives you a wealth of different linguistic stylings, points of view and allows you relax for a while.

But these days I am stuck in a rut and reading has taken a back seat to other activities. So I have decided to run a little survey and see what people can recommend to me. What have you read in the last few months that I could learn further from. I'd rather not be lugging textbooks but in the same breath no Mills and Boon. Something I can learn from, be it through beautiful prose or a relevant storyline.

For beautiful prose you can check out a novel called "Discretion" by Elizabeth Nunez, an acclaimed author, who is widely hailed as a great writer. The book is a love story about a man from Africa and a woman from the Caribbean, and how their cultural backgrounds affect their expectations of the boundaries for their relationship. It isn't a sappy love story, and well I won't tell you the ending. However, the beauty of the book is its seamless and captivating movement from scene to scene. Did I mention that the author is Trinidadian? Lol. But seriously, it's a great read. Additionally, you never know when you could borrow such a seamless style of writing for PR products.
